Chester B. Duryea, who slew his father, Brig.-Gen. Hiram Duryea, In 1914, was back after 25 years to stand trial for murder. He had been Founded and developed on the basis of helpfulness to the farmer, the implement industry is entirely dependent on the prosperity of agriculture for its own success. Through the years the implement maker has, with quality of product and genuinely helpful service, won the high regard and goodwill of the users of his product. There are few farmers who do not value sincerely the service of the implement'company. t Lack of understanding of some of the problems of the industry may give rise on occasion to criticisms that seek to detract from or disparage the part that the implement maker plays. In the light of the facts," however, misunderstandings vanish and a better appreciation results. TO THE FURTHERANCE OF AGRICULTURE Farmers9 Equipment Investment Greatly Reduced Most of the discussions on prices of implements, compar­ ing them with those of years ago, for instance,, fail to take cognizance of the improvement in methods that have taken place, resulting in the use of different machines from those of a quarfer-of-a-century ago. The One-Way Disc Seeder has displaced, tb a serious extent, so far as the manufacturer is concerned, several other machines, and it does so because if cuts the cost of tillage and seeding by from 40% to 50%. The small combine has spread the use of this method of harvesting until the sale of them now almost equals that of binders. And this because it costs only 26c per acre for out-of-pocket expense to harvest with the small combine as against $1.90 per acre by the Binder- Thresher method—.a saving of $1.64 per acre. The wheat farmer can equip today With the latest, tractor and tillage and harvesting equipment at 28% less than he could for comparable machines ten years ago—equipment, too, that enables him to Cut the costs of his operations by over 50%. This is the contribution of the implement industry to the furtherante of agriculture and Massey-Harris takes pride in having played an important part in it.

YOUNG LIONS BOW TO CLINTON TEAM Score Was 12 to 4 . .• 1 Those who saw the Juvenile game with Clinton at the Arena on Monday night saw a fast game and a game full of pep and spirit. The Clinton boys came here with the reputation that they had a smart team and they lived up to this forecast. Monteith was the standout of the Clinton line­ up and when he was Off the local team were even or better than the visitors. It did not matter to our lads that they were down on the score sheet, they kept plugging away and Were in thqre trying all the time. It was noticeable that tempers were getting a bit out of Control and it was not much of a •surprise when a'fight broke' out in the dying minutes of the last period. The Clinton boys got away with consider­ able hooking, holding and interference and this is always hard on the temp­ ers of the opponents. o Our Young Lions have done well this year, defeating such good teams as' Lucknow, Listowel, Elora and on their showing throughout the season deserve much credit.

Maybe, like others we know of, you’ve even got the model picked out, and are just “wait­ ing a fewzweeks” to do something definite about it. But may we emphasize, in purely friendly -interest, that a lot of other people probably have the same idea? And that when they start buying in droves— as they do every year about the ides of March — even McLaughlin-Buick’s big production line has trouble keeping up with them? Of course, we’re doing all we can to be ready for everyone. But what with everybody waiting Buicks this season, we can’t say how long we can promise the delivery we can give now. So why not play the early bird this year? Why not get the jump on your neighbor and be driving your McLaughlin-Buick while he’s still talking about getting his?

Though -it meant long and self-sacrificing effort before women were given the vote, in many constituencies less than half of the women’s voters came to the polls. These stay-at-home women may say that they are tied by other duties, but the woman really caring for her home should take an interest in conditions, economic and political, that affect the welfare of all homes. All women with the interests of the home at heart, should study public questions and vote intelligently. • Since the main issue before the el­ ectorate at present) is to perfect our war effort as a' Dominion, is it not time to consider conserving our men and materials by restricting the sale and manufacture of alcohol for the duration of the war?
